You must turn your exam in when time is announced or risk not having it accepted.Make sure you fill in your name and the above information, and that you sign below. Anonymous tests will not be graded.Write legibly. If the person grading the test cannot read something, he/she will simply assume that you meant the illegible portion as a note to yourself and they will ignore it. If you lose points because part of your answer could not be read, you will not be given the opportunity to explain what it says.Be clear and concise. The answers to most questions should be short. If you find yourself writing an excessively long response, you may want to think more carefully about the question. Long rambling answers generally get fewer points that short ones do because there are more opportunities to mark something wrong.You may use two pages of notes while taking the exam. You may not ask questions of other students, look at another student’s exam, use a textbook, use a phone or calculator, or seek any other form of assistance. In summary: do not cheat. Persons caught cheating will be subject to disciplinary action.Do not ask questions during the exam.Most questions are unnecessary and they disturb other stu-dents. Figuring out what the exam question is asking is part of the test. If you think you have to make some unusual assumption to answer a problem, note what that assumption is on the test.I have read these instructions, I understand them, and I will follow them.Your Signature: ____________________________________Date: ____________________________________Student ID: ____________________________________Total Points: 223 + 5 You Scored: ________ + Extra ________ CS 184: Foundations of Computer Graphics page 1 of 16Fall 2009Prof. James O’BrienFinal Exam

1.Please fill in each of the blanks with an appropriate answer. 2 points each blank, 68 totalThe Euler integration scheme tends to cause simulations to “blow up.” The implicit version of this scheme, known as _________________, is much more stable but has a tendency to damp motions artificially. Explicit integration schemes make use of the accelerations at the ____________of each simu-lation timestep.Inverse kinematics algorithms we discussed in class involve numerical root finding for a set of non-linear equations and can be solved using _____________________________.________________colors consist of light at a single wavelengh.________________motion capture systems record the position and orientation of the sensors on the subject.The ________________of a matrix can be computed using the singular value decomposition algorithm.The tangent vectors of an parametric surface generally can be used to compute the surface ________________.When representing __________________in 3D using homogenized coordinates, the fourth coordinate (i.e. “w”) will be one.Temporal anti-aliasing is often called _____________________.The __________________method operates from the assumption that all surfaces in a scene act like diffuse reflectors.

What students are saying

As a current student on this bumpy collegiate pathway, I stumbled upon Course Hero, where I can find study resources for nearly all my courses, get online help from tutors 24/7, and even share my old projects, papers, and lecture notes with other students.

Kiran
Temple University Fox School of Business ‘17, Course Hero Intern

I cannot even describe how much Course Hero helped me this summer. It’s truly become something I can always rely on and help me. In the end, I was not only able to survive summer classes, but I was able to thrive thanks to Course Hero.

Dana
University of Pennsylvania ‘17, Course Hero Intern

The ability to access any university’s resources through Course Hero proved invaluable in my case. I was behind on Tulane coursework and actually used UCLA’s materials to help me move forward and get everything together on time.
